Hi guys,
Can you please advise which brokers allow you to keep Demo accounts open indefinitely? I'm currently using Alpari UK but they close them down after 30 days of no trades and I want to list my demo accounts on here on a monthly basis. As I am now done with Dec14, there will be no more trades on that account but I need to keep all the trades I did on it 'clickable' via MyFXBook.
Thanks

To be honest, new traders should avoid these type brokers; since only 30 days even 6 months are not enough in general. So, using a wide demo service is important.
Even if they close them down after 30 days you can just open another one. I know that Admiral will give you a demo account for life if you open a live account with them
The demo account is the master place for a beginner to acquire all basic fundament information which is very supportive to continue a live account in a proper way. But practically most of the beginners don’t believe the importance of this trading place at all. In my trading career, I use all my trading strategies in demo trading to see the performance how it works.
The beginner should use demo account minimum for three months, sometimes many brokers organize demo contest with real money prizing. Newcomers can join here. It could be great to acquire real trading exeprince.

Nice to know, you used the demo on the right way! By the way, I have one question to you; if you don’t mind actually! How many months you used the demo?

I don’t know; why you asked that question; because as I see; it varies on traders to traders! But generally it takes such a long time to learn Forex.

I don’t think; in the beginning stage; demo contest is relevant; since new traders need to focus on learning only.

I think all brokers allow unlimited demo accounts don't they?

That's what I thought too...
according to me, if any newcomer has 6 months demos experience including a knowledge from pips school , $500 is more appropriate to kick off a live account.
I can't say which one exactly, but that is really bad, you shouldn't deal with that brokers anyway. I assume demo account should be open for something like .....indefinite term of use, cause you may have other plans or something like that. They shouldn't force you to live one.
trading in demo is useful , but there is no real money , for that reason we don't trade here seriously. but in demo trading on various currency is really supportive to increase trading knowledge.
demo is good bu the experience we took generally from here practically
not works when trading in a live , its a reality,

In this case, we need to work with small trading balance of demo! Because, I see with a healthy virtual balance, new traders lose their momentum too early!

Trading live, even small amounts, is a totally different pyscholgically.

Or think they will make huge amounts when they go live.
